From A to Z and Nutrition Stories

A new handy resource for parents from our government is a short and informative A-Z format Parents Guide to International Adoption.  This is a quick look at some key information that parents can review when getting started in the sometimes daunting process of adopting internationally! 

mishelle  at the SPOON Foundation would also love to hear from our families!  They are looking for families to profile on the Nutrition Profile part of their site. They are looking for any families who have a story to tell around their child's nutrition or eating. It could be anything--about malnutrition, about feeding issues, about how the family incorporates food from their child's birth culture into their meals. With so many new children home this year from many different countries I am sure we can help SPOON and other adopting families out with stories!
Later this week I am hoping to have CHI-Blogs first gift certificate giveaway!  Check back for information!

New Adoption Nutrition Resource on the Web!

I encourage you all to pass on the word about a super new resource available on the web on Adoption Nutrition!  This website has detailed information for adoptive parents on nutritional issues they may encounter with their adoptive children.  Topics include how to switch your child from a traditional diet to an American diet, food hoarding, and special diet concerns.  This is a super interesting website for everyone to check out!
